The Import-SPSiteSubscriptionSettings cmdlet restores a backup of subscription site settings to the given subscription identifier when the Identity parameter is used. To overwrite existing settings, use the Force parameter.

The type must be a valid URL, in the form http://server_name, or a GUID, in the form 1234-4567-985tg.

Path

Required

System.String

Specifies the location of the input file.

The type must be a valid path, in the form C:\filename.bak.

AdminProperties

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Specifies that only administrator subscription properties are imported. If this parameter is not set, only non-administrator subscription properties are imported.

AssignmentCollection

Optional

Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPAssignmentCollection

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

Note:

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters

Force

No

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

If a setting key already exists, determines whether the value must be overwritten with the value in the backup file.

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Displays a message that describes the effect of the command instead of executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters
